CURRENT MISSION

To dance even when I don't feel like it. To fall in love with life every day. To be grateful. To be content with exactly what I have.

ABOUT ME

After traveling a lot in my 20s I settled back in my hometown and began farming. I now run a 30-member urban CSA farm where we do all the work by hand and transport our veggies by bike. I love my chickens and my bees and especially my dog, Norm. We homebrew, can, make shit (literally and figuratively), compost shit, bike, play, work, play, and work some more. I am working toward creating a seed library in my town, and on getting proficient at the accordion.

PHILOSOPHY

Can you dig it?

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Looked into the crater of an active volcano in Guatemala, staring at the molten lava while the soles of my shoes melted.

教，学，和分享

I know: How to save pure seed in the city, and how to identify plants you can eat in and around the city.
I want to learn: How to not take life too seriously, and how to successfully grow edible mushrooms in the desert.
